Defrosting food using the automatic
programmes
1.
Take the food out of its packaging.
Use food that is stored flat and in portion-sized
quantities at -18 °C.
2.
Weigh the food.
You require the weight in order to set the pro-
gramme.
3.
Place the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, e.g.
a glass plate or porcelain plate.
Do not put the cover on.
4. Note:
Liquid is produced when you defrost meat
and poultry.
Drain off any liquid when turning and under no cir-
cumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to
come into contact with other foods.
5.
Flat pieces of meat and items made from minced
meat should be separated from each other before
leaving to stand.
6.
The defrosted food should be left to stand for an ad-
ditional 10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even
temperature.
Large pieces of meat require a longer standing time
than smaller pieces. For poultry, remove the giblets
after the resting time.
7.
Continue to prepare the food, even though thick
pieces of meat may still be frozen in the middle.
